The buzz in the America's Cup: USA-87 has a rudder

Today's buzz comes from the South Race Course off Valencia's coast. The much-discussed boat of BMW Oracle, USA-87, has a rudder and as a result one can assume there is no twin keel. Unfortunately, Valencia Sailing missed the golden opportunity of a photo by a split second, when during pre-start Chris Dickson helmed USA-87 amazingly close to the media boat.
